The measurement of Social Capital in the United Kingdom

چکیده
BACKGROUND The need for a more consistent approach to the conceptualisation and measurement of social capital was one of the key conclusions from the joint ONS/Home Office Social Capital Workshop held in November 2001. The literature review prepared for the workshop showed that many government surveys were including questions of a social capital nature. However, a variety of approaches were being used to measure different aspects of social capital. In some surveys, the questions were explicitly intended to measure aspects of social capital. In others, they were not explicitly labelled as social capital although they were essentially measuring different facets of it.
